The Company

Our Mission

To facilitate the growth of individuality and artistry in youth.

To be a source of high-quality dance productions in the community that impact our awareness of art’s ability to see life more clearly and beautifully.

We believe anyone, but especially children, who experience the art of dance are impacted positively and forever changed.

The Perla Ballet desires to reach as many members in our community and beyond with our year-round programs and performances through the art of dance, whether actively participating or viewing as an audience member.
